Robin's Unfortunate(For Him, At Least) Accident, Which I Blame On KF

by KageDanza

Basically, the team goes into a newly discovered Cadmus building, which is filled with something called 'Youth Serum.' Wally, in a move that makes me question his intelligence, gets them to split up so they can cover more ground. Everything's going okay, until they hear an explosion from Robin's assigned section. Long story short, they're screwed. Deaged!Robin. (YAY)

1. Prologue

Disclaimer: If I owned this crap, Robin would be deaged every six episodes and Wally WOULDN'T FREAKING BE DEAD!

Enjoy.

"We've discovered a new Cadmus base."

The sentence was so simple. Six words, eight syllables, twenty-eight letters. Batman's voice carried them so effortlessly, so casually, that it might have been another normal mission. And it was. Or at least, it was supposed to be. They thought it would be. But in a cliche turn of events, it turned out to be anything but just another mission.

Just a recon. Just a simple, easy recon. Get in, determine whether the base was abandoned or up and running, get out unscathed. Did that happen? NOPE. Well, at least the first two parts of their mission were okay. The last one, getting out all right? Forget it. Not their team.

Poor Robin.

"We should split up, cover more ground." Wally's idea. In retrospect, they probably shouldn't have explored the creepy building without each other. Horror movie rules: never split up.

Not that it was a horror, per se. Just a major inconvenience.

"What are in all these crates?" Artemis was the first to wonder.

"Youth Serum... Wonder what that does." Wally was the first to investigate.

Suddenly the sound of an explosion reached their ears. Robin was the first to find out the answer to Kid Flash's question.

When they reached Robin's location, Robin wasn't there. All there was was a tiny crumpled form in the corner. One that was shaped like a person.

"...Rob?" KF asked. The figure stirred. Upon closer examination, they saw a little bit of yellow among the pile of black cloth which contained what seemed to be their youngest team mate- albeit much, much smaller.

At first they didn't know WHAT to think. "What the heck just happened?" Conner had said. Or rather, growled.

Thankfully Aqualad was calm enough to think. "I believe we have just discovered the purpose of the 'Youth Serum' in the crates."

It was about then that they realized: they were in deep, deep trouble as soon as Batman found out.

AND SO IT BEGINS. Okay, so I've been talking about this for a while(a month is a very, very long time for me XD), and I finally got around to it. I'm SO incredibly excited to be writing this. It is possibly the best idea I've had in a long time, and I'm going to be having a LOT of fun with our little baby Robin in this. I'm debating between an identity reveal or just having the team see what he was like when he was first starting out as Robin. (He's nine in this, a few days after he defeated Zucco)
